Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that, instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, you use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

A pre-teen boy drops a ceramic statue of a male nude statuette and the penis breaks off. A few comments are made of inappropriate parts. One of the boys present says it's his mom's favorite part. The boy glues the broken private parts of the statue on upside down, making it appear as it has an erection (although this is not referred to).

The Goonies watch two men enter a restaurant, and several gunshots are heard. The kids just shrug it off as "somebody probably dropped a pot". We later on see the three villains carrying large garbage bags to the kitchen through a window and it is implied the corpses are inside. However, once again the kids just say "damn, what kitchen needs that much garbage?".

A main character has a grotesquely deformed face, purportedly from being dropped by his mother when he was a baby.

A boy confesses to knocking his sister down stairs and blaming it on his dog (relating a story--the episode he tells about happened in the past and is not shown).

A boy relates a story about dumping fake vomit from a movie theater balcony onto people below, causing patrons to actually vomit on each other. This is actually a reference to something Spielberg did when he was younger.

Men wrestle/knock heads/try to choke each other.

Adventure and action including chase sequences and adult threats to children with guns and swords.

Human corpses are shown in various states of decomposition, most depicted having died violent deaths.

Children escape death by multiple booby-traps throughout the movie.

A boy is sometimes mildly injured by his own inventions. These incidents are played for gags.

Quite a bit profanity such as "balls" (used once), "bullshit", "(holy) shit", "cut the shit", "damn" and "pissing" said multiple times by both children and adults throughout the film. Several very mild sexual references but no sexual words or slang used other than "balls" once.

A teen boy plays a trick on a Spanish cleaning woman by telling her (in Spanish with English subtitles) that she needs to "always sort the drugs" into the appropriate drawers, citing cocaine, heroin and speed. No characters do or reference doing drugs, though a teen boy makes a reference to "downin' some brews".

A dead body continuously falls on top of a child, who is trapped in a freezer. Numerous skeletons discovered during movie, including one with daggers in its eye sockets.

A skeleton is discovered with both it's legs crushed by a boulder and with insects such as worms, maggots and beetles crawling on it and coming out of it's eye sockets. Younger viewers will find the scene extremely frightening and will find it rather disturbing.

A character with a misshapen face is chained to a wall and is startling when first seen, screaming.

The image of the retarded and physically deformed man may scare younger audiences.
